I have played this a few times now and am having lots of fun. It is very fast. It is rocket to the face before you can see it fast. I think you guys will like it.
Twitch gaming at its best.
The latest info on the game suggests that it is not pay to win.
You can gain and spend Quake Bucks to rent a character for a day or spend actual money to buy a character for keeps. The rest of the purchases are cosmetic. It looks like a good free to play model to me.
Anyone who is not yet in on the closed beta should get in now.
